- Fans were just a little excited for the premiere of the Star Wars sequel "Empire Strikes Back." News 8 was on hand as members of the media got a sneak preview of the movie in San Diego. Gene Cubbison reports from the Pacific Cinerama.
“The critics were disappointed” gee where have I heard that before....
Fuck the critics!
Empire generally received great reviews back in 1980. I don't know where the reporter got his mis-information from.
I really don't think people had a concept of trilogies. Which is crazy to think about.
@@logicaldude3611 That is correct. We had no trilogies until that point in time, thanks to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, who changed all that!
@@PhilMoskowitz Reviews were quite middling at the time. The public didn't really fully embrace Emprie as "the best" until after Return of the Jedi. People were kind of down on the cliffhanger ending when it first came out.
"I didn't like the ending"??? Man I'd love to interview her
She didn't like the ending of ESB? She probably most likely didn't like the ending to The Force Awakens, either.
@@jimlo305 Who knows? I didn't like anything about Force Awakens. I don't know how anyone could dislike the ending to ESB, would love to interview her lol
I'm willing to bet her disappointment was due to Han Solo getting taken away by Boba Fett.
@@milaanvigraham8664 I don't find that confusing at all. The ending was grimmer than the previous one, which, even if necessary, rubbed some people the wrong way.
@ryuhayabusa6776 Exactly. We have the luxury of knowing what happens in the next movie. Empire was a bit of a cliff hanger and leaves you wanting more as a bit of tease. I can understand her reaction at the time
I was there! I won tickets and a press package from a local radio station and was so excited to see it! Great times!
I was stunned walking out of TESB as a kid. I loved the movie but hated the fact that I would have to wait 3 years to find out if there would be a resolution.
Most people everywhere would later on grow to love it as well! It’s just something that have never seen before of the good guys losing and being lift with a cliff hanger with many questions of what’s to happen next so they didn’t know how to feel at all back then as they’ve never seen a movie do that before. Later on more people started to love the empire strikes back’s genius ending from how phenomenal it really is!
Empire has the best ending in the whole saga

Critics are disappointed? Could have been a better ending?? ESB is the best of them all!
Just watching this, and knowing that they had no idea what this movie would actually become, arguably the best Star Wars movie ever made. It’s fun to watch this knowing that they are in for a big surprise! Thanks for the video, it’s great!

I get how people didn’t like this because this was a complete left turn from Star Wars had been up to this point.

Didn't like the ending? She didn't seem much of a fan anyway. I remember all those years ago being so upset at the end, mostly because I knew I had to wait 3 bloody years for the next one !! This and Star Wars, for me are perfect films. Jedi was great, but not quite as good.
The original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are absolute cinematic masterpieces without a doubt
A lot of people were let down initially. My old man was one of them. He found it a depressing experience. It was after ROTJ that a lot of people reavaluated the film
She grew up on Mr Ed the talking horse.
I was the one dressed as darth Vader, me and my friend lied our way in. I can't believe I found this clip. Great memory!!!!
Sure mate
1:35 Absolutely True Now the whole series is Lost in Space.
I think everyone hated the ending, because back then we didn't realize there would be another.
I saw ESB as a kid in 1982. I was confused with the ending, because everybody was going like "now let's get Han back !" and then THE END.
What? No final battle to get Han back? No proper victorious ending? Cliffhanger was pretty new in movies, hence the audience reaction IMHO.
Always liked the ending.
0:01 - "This isn't an Ingmar Bergman film".
Laser's swords? at 0:50
The announcer was a laser brain lol!
even george calls them that informally
Damn, everyone hated the ending

@@Gadget-Walkmenhow many times u gunna say that
@@Bls-of1ld uhhhhhh only a few to clear things up for some other people.
@@Gadget-Walkmen u only need to post it once
@@Bls-of1ld No I don’t, there are other people who need to know the facts of the situation because they won’t see the one comment I posted.
It’s funny how critics have changed their tune over the years and almost universally consider this the best Star Wars movie of all.
Then theres that one a**hole (Homer Simpson) who walks out saying, "Who wouldve guessed that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalkers father?"
4 bucks a ticket. Those were the days.
Inflation calculator says thats the same as $15 in today's money..
@ 1:11 Star Wars is too hard for him to grasps...
So, it's always the same story as prequels and sequels... 😂😂😂
